Definitions
- This invention relates to the identification of peptide ligands and the DNA encoding the peptide ligands.
- the invention also relates to carriers for use in the identification of peptide ligands and for the display of peptide ligands.
- Peptides ligands represent important biological molecules in vivo and indeed several peptides have been taken forward into therapeutic use.
- uptake of therapeutic peptide technology has been slow compared to antibody therapeutics despite advantages in cost, tissue penetration and possible non-parenteral route of administration (e.g. inhaled).
- This is related to a number of problems including the difficulty of screening for peptides of interest from libraries because of their relative low affinity in linear conformation.
- conventional peptide libraries generated using F-moc chemistry are prohibitively expensive for the library sizes required for drug discovery.
- problems have included peptide stability in vivo. Stability problems may be improved by the use of non-natural/unnatural amino acids or structured/stapled peptides e.g. ciclosporin, or other conjugations e.g. pegylation.
- the mechanism of probing protein interactions or probing for potential ligands will directly link any identified protein or peptide to its encoding DNA.
- the advantage of linking the peptide to the encoding DNA is that methods available to sequence the DNA are far more sophisticated than those available to sequence protein.
- DNA sequencing is much more rapid and is cheaper than protein sequencing.
- DNA sequencing can be successful on very small samples - small in both length and molar amounts.
- DNA samples can be easily amplified to provide more DNA if needed.
- DNA sequencing can be undertaken by traditional Sanger based methodology or by various high throughput sequencing approaches (Sequencing technologies - the next generation. Metzker ML. Nat Rev Genet.
- protein sequencing can be via Edman degradation or through mass spectrometry approaches ( Hanno Steen & Dr Mann. The abc's (and xyz's) of peptide sequencing. Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, 5:699-711, 2004 , the contents of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety).
- these methods commonly use coat fusion proteins which can alter the conformation of both interacting partners and influence binding.
- the produced proteins may be toxic to the yeast or the phage or influence their replication which can select out library bias.
- the use of unnatural amino acids and post-translational modifications may provide significant affinity and stability advantages and these are difficult to achieve using phage or yeast during the selection step.
- in vivo systems have associated limitations in library size that can be overcome using in vitro expression systems.
- Tawfik and Griffiths and colleagues established emulsion micro-compartments as a means to isolate reactions ( Tawfik, D.S. and A.D. Griffiths, Man-made cell-like compartments for molecular evolution. Nat Biotechnol, 1998. 16(7): p. 652-6 , the contents of which is incorporated by reference). It was reported that in a 1 ml reaction volume, more than 10 10 water-in-oil emulsion micro-compartments can be created, with each having a mean diameter in the range of 2-3 ⁇ m and mean volume of 5 femtolitres.
- a single molecule achieves a concentration of approximately 0.5 nM, thus enabling a single DNA molecule to be transcribed and translated.
- DNA molecules With appropriate dilution of DNA molecules, it is possible to create individual water-in-oil emulsions in which only one DNA molecule is present in a microcompartment, and the protein expressed is trapped in a single confined physical space, i.e. creating 10 10 unique directed evolution reactions.
- emulsions provide the convenience of a cell-free environment, preventing the interference of toxic substrates or unwanted cellular interactions ( Lu, W.C. and A.D. Ellington, In vitro selection of proteins via emulsion compartments.
- An aim of the present invention is therefore to provide an improved system to screen for and select peptide ligands, in particular to screen for and select low affinity ligands, and/or to screen for and select ligands containing non-natural or modified amino acids, and/or to screen or select for ligands having a constrained secondary structure.
- the invention provides a carrier to which is attached a peptide and DNA encoding the peptide.
- the peptide includes at least one non-natural amino acid, and/or has a constrained secondary structure.
- non-natural amino acids any amino acid that is not considered by those skilled in the art as a proteinogenic or 'natural' amino acid, normally encoded by the genetic code.
- the natural amino acids excluded by the term 'non-natural amino acids are: L-alanine, L-arginine, L-asparagine, L-aspartic acid, L-cysteine, L-glutamic acid, L-glutamine, L-glycine, L-histidine, L-isoleucine, L-leucine, L-lysine, L-methionine, L-phenylalanine, L-proline, L-serine, L-threonine, L-tyrptophan, L-tyrosine and L-valine.
- Any non-natural amino acid may be incorporated into the peptide.
- Peptides attached to carriers of the invention which incorporate non-natural amino acids may be synthesised by in vitro translation, and preferably by in vitro transcription/translation (IVTT) from the DNA carried on the carrier. Most preferably, the peptides are synthesised by emulsion IVTT.
- IVTT in vitro transcription/translation
- In vitro translation allows for the use of modified tRNA species carrying modified or non-natural amino acids, and may take advantage of, for example, known amber, ochre or opal stop codon suppressor tRNA technologies.
- Alternative technologies for incorporation of non-natural amino acids include engineered amino acid-tRNAs that recognise four-base codons. Other technologies will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
- the peptide conformation is restricted by the formation of a linkage at at least two different amino acid sites.
- the conformation is restricted by the formation of at least one internal bond within the peptide.
- the internal bond comprises an SS-bridge and/or an alternative linkage.
- the constrained conformation may be created by binding the peptide to a scaffold and/or a carrier.
- the peptide may be attached to a scaffold and/or carrier via at least two linkages.
- the internal bond preferably comprises a disulphide bond.
- Disulphide bonds are selectively formed between free cysteine residues without the need to protect other amino acid side chains. Furthermore, disulphide bonds are easily formed by incubating in a basic environment. Preferably a disulphide bond is formed between two cysteine residues, since their sulfhydryl groups are readily available for binding.
- the location of an SS-bridge within an amino acid sequence is easily regulated by regulating the location of free cysteine residues.
- said cysteines are located around the first and last amino acid position of the amino acid sequence, in order to optimally restrict the conformation of the amino acid sequence.
- ⁇ bonds are also suitable for restricting the conformation of the peptides.
- Se-Se diselenium bonds may be used.
- An advantage of diselenium bonds is that these bonds are reduction insensitive. Peptides comprising a diselenium bond are better capable of maintaining their conformation under reducing circumstances.
- a metathese reaction is used in order to form an internal bond. In a metathese reaction two terminal CC-double bonds or triple bonds are connected by means of a Ru-catalysed rearrangement reaction.
- Such terminal CC-double or CC-triple bonds are for instance introduced into a peptide either via alkylation of the peptide NH-groups, for instance with allyl bromide or propargyl bromide, or via incorporating a non-natural amino acid with an alkenyl- or alkynyl-containing side chain into the peptide.
- a metathese reaction is performed with a Grubbs-catalyst.
- an internal bond is formed using Br-SH cyclisation.
- an SH moiety of a free cysteine is coupled to a BrAc-moiety which is preferably present at the N-terminus of the peptide or at a lysine (RNH 2 ) side chain.
- a COOH-side chain of an aspartate or glutamate residue is coupled to the NH 2 -side chain of a lysine residue. This way an amide bond is formed. It is also possible to form an internal bond by coupling the free COOH-end of a peptide to the free NH 2 -end of the peptide, thereby forming an amide-bond.
- Alternative methods for forming an internal bond within an amino acid sequence are available, which methods are known in the art.
- the peptides are constrained by binding to a scaffold.
- Various procedures to obtain monocyclic peptides are known.
- Various efficient synthetic routes to scaffolds for preparing monocyclic peptides have been developed, along with methods for their incorporation into peptidomimetics using solid-phase peptide synthesis.
- peptides containing pairs of cysteine residues allowing subsequent cyclization via disulfide bond formation (see e.g.
- a preferred example peptides with two free cysteine thiols that react rapidly with a variety of scaffold molecules are bound to the carrier.
- a synthetic scaffold comprising at least two identical reactive groups is used to couple one or more potential binding site molecules, e.g. peptides or peptide fragments, to said scaffold.
- Suitable peptides comprise all possible peptides capable of reacting with at least two reactive groups on a scaffold to form at least two linkages or bonds between the peptide and the scaffold
- the scaffold may comprise a (hetero) aromatic molecule with at least a first and a second reactive group as disclosed in WO 2004/077062 , preferably a (hetero)aromatic molecule comprising at least two benzylic halogen substitutents.
- the two benzylic halogen substitutents are preferably used as first and second reactive group for coupling an amino acid sequence.
- An amino acid sequence is preferably coupled to a scaffold using a method according to WO 2004/077062 .
- a scaffold with at least a first and a second reactive group is provided.
- An amino acid sequence capable of reacting with said at least first and second reactive group is contacted with said scaffold under conditions allowing said amino acid sequence to react with said at least first and second reactive group to form at least two linkages between said scaffold and said amino acid sequence, wherein the formation of a first linkage accelerates the formation of a consecutive linkage.
- This way, conformationally constrained loop constructs are formed.
- the coupling reaction using a scaffold as disclosed in WO 2004/077062 is suitable for being performed in solution.
- An amino acid sequence is preferably coupled to a scaffold using a method according to WO 2004/077062 in an aqueous solution, thereby limiting or even avoiding the use of (toxic) organic solvents.
- first linkage accelerates the formation of a second linkage
- attachment of an amino acid sequence to a scaffold according to WO 2004/077062 takes place in a rapid, concerted process comprising a cascade of reactions.
- the formation of a first linkage via a first reactive group increases the reactivity of a second reactive group, and so on, such that the activating effect is being 'handed over' from one reactive group to the next one.
- Said chemical reactions involve changes at functional groups while the molecular skeleton of the scaffold remains essentially unchanged.
- a scaffold molecule as used in WO 2004/077062 comprising at least two reactive groups is capable of reacting with an amino acid sequence such that the reactive groups of the scaffold become involved in the new linkages with the amino acid sequence while the core structure or skeleton of the scaffold does not participate directly in the coupling.

- linkers and the incorporation of binding pair members and ⁇ 2 microglobulin, as described herein may be employed equally for this first aspect of the invention as for the second aspect described below.
- the invention provides a carrier to which is attached ⁇ 2 microglobulin, a peptide and DNA encoding the peptide, said carrier not bearing an MHC or MHC-like molecule.
- the carrier may further include a flexible linker attached to the peptide, e.g. a flexible peptide linker.
- a flexible peptide linker is series of amino acids which connects two defined regions, such as the peptide and the ⁇ 2 microglobulin, and allows the two defined regions to move.
- the linker allows the two regions to have locational freedom.

- such further peptide sequences provide the flexible peptide linker function.
- One or more such peptide sequences may be provided.
- the ⁇ 2 microglobulin may be attached to the carrier, either directly or via the peptide, or may be located at the carrier surface but not physically attached.
- the ⁇ 2 microglobulin is provided on the carrier in the absence of an MHC or MHC-like molecule, which, surprisingly, is not required for the presentation of the peptide in the invention. Accordingly, the carrier does not bear or carry an MHC or MHC-like molecule.
- the ⁇ 2 microglobulin is attached to the carrier via the peptide, it may be constructed as a fusion with the peptide, and the DNA may encode the ⁇ 2 microglobulin-peptide fusion. Alternatively the ⁇ 2 microglobulin may be provided exogenously.
- the peptide, or the ⁇ 2 microglobulin-peptide fusion may be attached to the carrier by means of an interaction between members of a binding pair of molecules.
- one of the members of a binding pair is attached to the peptide or fusion and the second member is attached directly or indirectly (e.g. via a linker) to the carrier.
- binding pairs are known to the skilled person, and any may be used in order to immobilise the peptide on the carrier.
- the binding pair member attached to the peptide or fusion is a proteinaceous member that can be expressed as a fusion protein with the peptide or as a fusion with the ⁇ 2 microglobulin-peptide fusion.
- the binding member attached to the peptide or fusion may be a streptavidin binding protein.

- streptavidin binding protein is attached to the peptide or ⁇ 2 microglobulin-peptide fusion
- streptavidin is attached to the carrier either directly or indirectly (e.g. via a linker).
- Expression of the peptide or ⁇ 2 microglobulin-peptide fusion, attached (e.g. as a further fusion) to streptavidin binding protein will result in binding of the streptavidin binding protein to the streptavidin and consequent immobilisation of the peptide on the carrier.

- Biological in vivo based systems e.g. yeast or phage
- yeast or phage can be limited in terms of library size because of limitations in handling large numbers of biological particles and efficient take up of library components.

The advantage of high throughput screening approaches is that large numbers of sequences can be rapidly sequenced. Having obtained the sequence, either of the DNA encoding the peptide or the peptide itself, of one or more of the peptides that bind to a molecule, the sequences can then be compared to protein and DNA sequence databases to identify possible proteins or genes from which the peptide ligand is derived. Preferably the method will allow multiple different ligands to be identified which together will allow the protein from which they are derived to be identified.
- the molecules may first be probed with a carrier carrying peptide with a fixed sequence before probing with a peptide library. Bioinformatics could then be used to calculate a cut-off (based on the fixed sequence) above which non-fixed sequences may be relevant. The identified sequences could then be applied to database searches to examine common patterns that emerge. This system may be amenable to subsequent rounds of selection to enrich for sequences of interest. In addition the sequences generated in one round of selection can be used to derive a refined library for subsequent rounds of selection.

- the inventors have hypothesized that the use of a protein scaffold ( ⁇ 2-microglobulin) with known ability to deliver peptides to a tertiary molecule (HLA) would allow the presentation and screening of peptides that bind to target molecules of interest, even in the absence of HLA or HLA like molecules.
- Beta-2-microglobulin has a number of advantages as a carrier molecule including survival at the relatively low endosomal pH which may be important for screening peptides that might modify protein:protein interactions that occur in vivo at low pH.

- Emulsion PCR was undertaken using streptavidin magnetic beads labelled with biotinylated primers (forward primer: 5'- biotin -GATCTCGATCCCGCGAAATT; reverse primer: unmodified, 5'- TCCGGATATAGTTCCTCCTT -3').
- the emulsion oil for each PCR reaction was prepared in a universal tube using ABIL EM90 and mineral oil. To equilibrate the emulsion oil, a magnetic stirrer (VWR UK) was used.

- Beta-2-microglobulin is correctly folded on the bead surface and presents peptides for tertiary interactions
- Peptide sequences for 22 GP120-binding peptides selected by the method of the invention. All peptides have glycine-serine repeats (GGGGGGSGGSG) at C-terminals for flexibility, followed by a lysine K residue for biotinylation.
- GGGGGGSGGSG glycine-serine repeats
- FIG. 5a showed the result of ELISA tests of the twenty two peptides. An irrelevant peptide was used as a reference for the peptides which has no binding to gp120. As shown in Figure 5a , GP2, GP3, GP11 and GP16 had significantly higher binding to gp120 than the control hemagglutinin-binding peptide HA2 in a dose-dependent manner.
- ELISA is susceptible to detection of non-specific and low affinity binding. We therefore proceeded to determine specific binding affinities using surface plasmon resonance.
- FIG. 5b shows an illustrated example of the K D calculation for GP16 peptide and the K D for different peptides is shown in Figure 5b .
- the peptides with positive binding on ELISA had a K D value ranging from approximately 20 to 80 ⁇ M, indicating that these peptides had the ability to bind gp120 protein, but with relative weak affinity.
- the BIAcore experiment acted as a second confirmation that the randomised peptide library had successfully captured peptides which bind to gp120 in a single round of selection, and that the sequence information coding the binding peptides was correctly preserved and sequenced.
- binding affinity was in the micromolar range, we were aware that this was also the case of Enfuvirtide T20 which is a licensed therapeutic for HIV-1, and so proceeded to determine whether the peptides had HIV-1 replication inhibition activity either as monomers or as multimeric complexes.
- Figure 6 shows the HIV-1 replication assay using biotinylated forms of the four peptides of highest affinity, with or without multiplexing using streptavidin conjugation (GP3, GP5, GP11, and GP16).
- streptavidin conjugation GP3, GP5, GP11, and GP16.
- peptides administered directly without streptavidin conjugation had a very low inhibitory effect on HIV-1 replication, e.g. GP16 inhibited HIV-1 BaL infection by less than 1% at 50 and 100 ⁇ M, and 50% at 250 ⁇ M; GP3 had no inhibitory effect at 50 ⁇ M, and 34.5% and 54.7% inhibition at 100 ⁇ M and 250 ⁇ M respectively.
- HIV-1 neutralising antibodies are an invaluable tool to assess binding sites within the GP120 molecule.
- Three commercially available HIV-1 broadly neutralising antibodies V3 (anti-V3 447-52D, CCR5/CXCR4 binding sites), VRC01 (discontinuous CD4 binding site) and F105 (CD4 binding site) were prepared to test the binding sites of GP3 and GP16 peptides as these showed the greatest inhibition of HIV-1 replication.

- Hilyte Fluor 488 can be readily viusalised.
- a peptide can be produced incorporating a non-natural amino acid by IVTT and displayed on a bead the following method was performed.
- the non-natural fluorescent aminoacyl-tRNA was centrifuged and then 10 ⁇ L of tRNA buffer was added to the non-natural aminoacyl-tRNA tube, and vortexed to dissolve completely.
- RNase-free water, template bound DNA beads, amino acids, methionine, and reaction mix were then mixed in a new 1.5mL microcentrifuge tube.
- 10 ⁇ L of non-natural aminoacyl-tRNA solution and 100 ⁇ L of E.coli lysate was then added to the reaction mix. This was incubated at 30°C for 0.5 to 2 hours to allow the IVTT reaction to proceed. The reaction was then stopped by placing the tube on ice, and fluorescent gel analysis was run at 488nm as shown in Figure 9.
- Figure 9 shows in lane 3 that the fluorescent non-natural amino acid was incorporated into the peptide to produce a fluorescent band at the expected 18kDa size.
- the IVTT reaction was performed using the 5 Prime RTS E coli disulphide kit. 15 ⁇ L of 4 mM cystamine working solution was added to each tube containing an IVTT reaction. A 0.6 mg/mL papain-SSCH 3 working solution was prepared and 0.5 mL was added to each assay tube and mixed well. The reactions were then incubated at room temperature for one hour. 0.5 mL of 4.9 mM L-BAPNA solution was then added to each assay tube and mixed well. To determine the presence of disulphide bonds the absorbance at 410 nm was measured. Experimental tubes were compared with the absorbance of standard curve solutions. The presence and amount of disulphide bonds was quantified using the Thiol and Sulfide Quantitation Kit (Molecular Probes) as described in the manufacturers' instructions. Figure 10 illustrates that 1 or 2 disulphide bonds can be readily incorporated.
- the invention provides in an aspect a novel in vitro bead display approach for displaying peptides using ⁇ 2m as a scaffold structure.
- the use of ⁇ 2m as a scaffold allows effective translation and delivery of linked peptides to tertiary molecules.
- the invention also provides a novel in vitro bead display approach for displaying peptides containing non-natural amino acids and/or constrained amino acids.
- an in vitro system includes the possibility of using extremely large library sizes that are not limited by cloning efficiency into organisms.
- In vitro expression does not risk bias away from variants that confer growth disadvantage to particular phage or advantage to non-recombined phage.
- the beads may be simple, containing just peptide/protein and the encoding DNA; this means that there are fewer opportunities for non-specific interactions and that selection rounds can be reduced.
- selection against a target can be undertaken in specific milieu that may not be possible using in vivo presentation, e.g. low pH that may be relevant for viral membrane fusion inhibitors or gastric environments for oral absorption.
- beads are amenable to binding to targets on cells which adds further applications.
- a binding system based on molecular interactions has been used to retain the selected beads. This has many advantages, as small numbers of beads can be selected from large libraries without dependence on threshold levels of fluorescence for detection which will be low for individual peptide:ligand interactions. Furthermore the beads can be readily isolated after each round of selection and transferred to sequential flow cells with different targets or conditions (e.g. target concentration, temperature, pH, buffer constituents) in order to undertake serial positive and/or negative selection to define multiple characteristics. Beads do not have to be re-derived between each sequential step and so even multiple selections can be undertaken quickly.
- targets or conditions e.g. target concentration, temperature, pH, buffer constituents
- the peptides may be of value themselves, but in addition, they may provide structural data that is of value to the design of small drugs or other peptide mimetics. It is possible to use multiple rounds of selection to pick out peptides with higher affinity. Peptides (and peptide drug precursors) offer potential advantages over antibody approaches, as the inclusion of certain sequence and structural components can allow the absorption from the gut or lungs and the targeting of intracellular proteins as shown by ciclosporin. Lastly, peptides are readily amenable to multimerisation and modulation of pharmacokinetics such as through the use of pegylation with multiple peptide binding sites.
- bead display of peptides using ⁇ 2m as a scaffold base in accordance with the invention is a powerful approach to the identification of peptide ligands of disease relevant targets.
- the multiplex in vitro translation system is able to pick up low affinity peptides in a cost-effective approach.
- these peptides may be of value themselves, they can form the basis of further modifications or structural studies to inform the development of small drugs and other peptide mimetics for use to probe protein:protein interactions to understand biological process and for future therapeutic development.
- peptides containing non-natural amino acids and/or having constrained structures may allow the production of more stable peptides and/or of peptides with higher binding affinities.
- the peptides may be of value themselves, they may also form the basis of further modifications or structural studies to inform the development of small drugs and other peptide mimetics for use to probe protein:protein interactions to understand biological process and for future therapeutic development.
